The head of the “Progressive Socialist Party”, former deputy Walid Jumblatt, stressed that “in the face of economic disasters and calamities, if a government had been formed, or if the formation of a government with a minimum of integrity and specialists had been allowed, we could start to address, and that was a requirement. French President Emmanuel Macron, after he came after the disaster of August 4, and at that time, apparently all the political forces responded to him, but in practice, we are still at this moment in a dead end, for a simple reason of political forces, and we are among the political forces, but we have how much influence do we have. In other central powers? How much influence do we have in the Free Patriotic Movement, Hezbollah, Saad Hariri and the Movement Future? “.
In an interview with the online newspaper Al-Anbaa, Jumblatt indicated that “so far I am positive, because there is still hope that France, with what it has, can open the doors, if an acceptable government is formed, to negotiate with the World Bank and international institutions to start the reform process. ” .
On who is responsible for not resolving the government’s file, Jumblatt explained that “locally, I hold these political forces (President Michel Aoun, Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri and Hezbollah) responsible, and we do not forget that the Free Patriotic Movement is a important team, since mistakes were made before. Hariri wants to impose certain names on Michel Aoun, as there is a disagreement over the names on the surface, and there is a disagreement over the ministries. Hariri basically thought that forming a ministry was an easy matter, just as he thought of bringing in specialists, but a specialist and unfamiliar with politics is not an easy matter. In Lebanon “.
He added: “He could be a specialist in France and other countries, but in Lebanon she wants a specialist and is able to impose her political opinion, for example the Ministry of Energy. Should we visit my specialist without cleaning the tanks of the Gebran Bassil’s ministry and those who followed him regarding fuel deals and deals? ” The Turkish ships, we want someone who knows how to prevail, and the same happens with justice and the interior. Hariri also thought that he could distance Gibran from Michel Aoun, but this theory is impossible. “
Jumblatt said: “The central force in Lebanon, which means that Iran represented by Hezbollah is waiting for the newly elected president of the United States, Joe Biden, to receive Iran to negotiate with him, on the Lebanese dossier, missiles, Iraq , Syria, Yemen. They are comfortable in their time, and in the meantime, we see how they benefit from the vacuum in Lebanon, and whoever installs ATMs in their regions can withdraw an amount of up to $ 5,000 in cash, and the average Lebanese citizen goes to banks and “slices”, and can only withdraw a very small amount in the Lebanese currency and after wasta, but we see them? comfortable and waiting to negotiate. “
And he added: “Here we ask ourselves the question: do the sanctions have an effect? It is true that they affect but – they do not affect – I remember the United States sanctions against Cuba, 45 years old and until now, since 1958, the regime has existed de Fidel) Castro, then Raúl Castro, and even When Soviet aid was cut after the collapse of the Soviet Union, they resisted and the sanctions so far are hurting the weak and poor segments of Lebanon, Iran and the Iranian people, but the The regime is coherent and very strong, and the annexes to the regime are very strong. “
In response to a question about the Progressive Socialist Party seems lonely in the confrontation in the country, Jumblatt said: “It seems that way, from time to time some timid voices come out, and the party seems lonely in the confrontation. We raised the rationalization file through Hadi Abu Al-Hassan and Bilal Abdullah, and they did not know us. Except for some representatives of the parliament, and then the file disappeared. We talk about the electricity record, and the scandals continue. We went to the prosecutor’s offices, but the judiciary is not independent. We are trying and will follow up if another audience joins us, but so far I don’t see that. “
Jumblatt said: “The formation of the government may be the beginning of the reform and reconstruction of the port and the return to normal life, but this will take a long time, but if we remain in this stalemate imposed by internal forces with external forces, then the Old Lebanon has ended, with its curative, cultural, educational and cultural mission, because the elite of the people will leave, they will not stay, and we see them emigrate. “
Regarding the proposals for a new constitution, Jumblatt asked: “Is this a priority? Even if there is a sect or what remains of it, I think the basic issues to focus on are the issues of life, reform , the government, the modest program that we agreed with the French, and let’s start with one point. It is small, and it is electricity, if the electricity file does not fix it, and the second point is smuggling, we do not control anything from the borders, Neither the port nor the airport nor the borders, how do we control diesel smuggling? How do we control the smuggling of subsidized materials? It is supported by the money remaining in the mandatory reserve, it supports materials for merchants, flour, medicines and everything , and they are the ones who benefit from this support, and export at the expense of the Lebanese people. Before the issue of the system and changing the system, let’s start with these most important points. These issues are bigger equations s.
In the investigation file of the Beirut port explosion, Jumblatt said: “Nobody wants an investigation. We are the only ones who want an investigation, as well as the common citizen. First, the Judiciary must be respected. Judge Sawan asked for an investigation. investigation with the prime ministers. Why did you summarize it to the heads of the ministries, and did not request an investigation with the president? ” The Republic? It is undermined, even in this matter, Saad Hariri’s reaction was misplaced, he reached Hassan Diab and sympathized with him from the position of prime minister, and from the site of provoking sectarian struggles, this was a big mistake, All the officials who passed are responsible in one way or another. About these materials that were in the port, why didn’t they investigate them? Why wasn’t everyone investigated? You have to investigate everyone ”.
Jumblatt said: “Judge Fadi Sawan has reached a dead end, or continues, and how will it be completed? Or will he be asked to resign, and they said that according to the constitution, there is a certain body in parliament that he is judging the presidents and ministers, but everyone will avoid the investigation because it can affect those closest to him. ” For some high-ranking officials, two elements of General Security are in prison today, not a general security acquittal, but General Security does not interfere in the internal affairs of the port, since they arrested Badri Daher, and I think he is one of the main ones who should know and stop Al-Qaisi, and I heard that he is one of the employees. It is forbidden to continue, covering the issue with constitutional, sectarian and sectarian procedures, since for the international investigation, the Lebanese people paid a billion dollars for the international investigation of the murder of Rafik Hariri, and it was a somewhat regrettable result.
On the subject of a personal marital status law, Jumblatt said: “We have to advance our proposal, challenge sectarian barriers, challenge the Church, monks and sheiks, and challenge all those who prevent the Lebanese citizen from being Just like everyone else, we have to challenge. This is our heritage, civil courts in place. Sectarianism, optional civil marriage law that has not passed, and there are thousands of young people getting married in Turkey and Cyprus, and then they register their marriage in Lebanon, but here it is prohibited, why is it prohibited? We must try to distinguish ourselves from others.
Regarding regional changes, Jumblatt considered that “we are not witnessing the beginning of a new Middle East, but there is a new Middle East, so is there anything left of the old Middle East? There is a theoretical state in Iraq and it is dispersed and the first Iraqi minister cannot protect his headquarters, the Green region, and there are popular crowds and weapons escaping, and Syria is shared by the Russians and Iranians about what remains of the Syrian homeland, and the regime is still present, and unfortunately, Russia and Iran are protected, Libya evaporated, as for Palestine, the last principle was land for peace, they were peace for peace, and whatever A land was left for Palestine after the Israelis occupied 60 or 70% of the land they It should have been the Palestinian state, there is nothing left. And in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, Iranians, and Israel allows everything, did you hear the raid on Beirut two days ago? Israel penetrated everywhere peacefully, there is still Algeria, t They have a legacy, a great anti-colonial revolution, and at the same time, the great trap that awaits Algeria and that the Americans and Israelis set, the Western Sahara trap that A. They gave it to the Moroccans for free, Israel is trying and he wants to enter and sabotage Algeria. This is a disputed land according to the United Nations, and it needed a referendum, so Trump gave it like he gave Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, so he gives out of his bag?
Regarding the Palestinian issue, Jumblatt affirmed that “I am not desperate for the Palestinian issue. We want a new administration, and this town is very large, and there are great intellectual, political and fighting energies. The administration must change because the old administration does not it can go on and change. I’m not afraid, it can’t be erased. ” With a stroke of the pen to the demands of these people, I am optimistic, but it takes a lot ”.
